@WhoWouldWin13 Joan will have the superior armor to begin with, as well as a large sword, medieval dagger and quite possibly a lance. However, she will lack in training, no doubt having some but not as much as medieval knights and foot soldiers of her day. We have to remember that she was a

@WhoWouldWin13 peasant girl initially, before she became a prophet and a hero of the French. She will have a horse trained for combat no doubt (Knight horses called destriers were trained to box with their hooves), and she could use that horse to potentially run down Catwoman (and or lance

@WhoWouldWin13 her), but Joan by herself will have a serious problem here.

Thankfully, they can cannons in her day, and she may have been able to use one in combat.

Catwoman doesn't have her armor, but she does have superior physicality. True, Joan of Arc was a peasant, and as such she

@WhoWouldWin13 had a FAR more physical upbringing than most people in the 20th and 21rst centuries. This would make her pound for pound far stronger than most, if not all people in the western world today.

Having said that, Catwoman has peak human physicality. Considering that Batman has

@WhoWouldWin13 enough strength to bench well over 1000 pounds (maybe over a ton) for several reps without a spotter, and that women have about 60-80 % of a man's strength (their upper bodies have about 50% the strength of a man), this would make Catwoman much stronger than any weightlifter

@WhoWouldWin13 alive. She would also have speed and agility far superior to any athlete today. Along with this, Joan of Arc would be shorter than Catwoman. The average height for medieval Englishmen was about 5 feet 7, just two inches shy of the modern English height. The Medieval French were

@WhoWouldWin13 probably about the same. Considering that the average height for British and French women today is 5 feet 4+ and 5 feet 3 respectively, this would probably put Joan of Arc (who was 19 when she died) at about 5 feet tall or so. Imagine @ReeseW with short dark hair and you get the

@WhoWouldWin13 @ReeseW idea of how tall Joan of Arc would have been. Now compare this to Catwoman...who is 5 feet 11. Catwoman Is FAR taller, and undoubtedly heavier as well. Thus she has the height, reach, weight, strength, speed and agility advantage.

@WhoWouldWin13 @ReeseW Catwoman won't have Joan of Arc's killer instinct, but she'll have FAR superior hand to hand combat training, as well as actual combat experience (though Joan may have fought a few times, she was more of a mascot and psychological weapon than an actual warrior).

Thus, I

@WhoWouldWin13 @ReeseW conclude...
CATWOMAN TELLS JOAN OF ARC "BRITAIN IS BETTER!!!!"
